Default How many timers in the kitchen do you have?

I've had a digital timer, since from when they became first available. The
first was a small Radio Shack one. Not intended for kitchen use, but it had
a keypad where one could directly enter the time. I've never used one where
I have to rotate up the time. I've always had a keypad. I would have
thought that adding some more buttons wouldn't be that expensive.

Steam from nearby pans did that one in. And now digital timers are so cheap
that I have three in the kitchen, preset to the different times that I use.

This one is on a shelf alongside the microwave, set to three minutes for
tea: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004S0SO9M

Then two of these are attached to the exhaust hood (sans strings):

One set to 30 minutes, the time for my Actifry -- the *best* for roasting
root vegetables -- and the time I give the leg of lamb at 450F at the start
of its cooking (in a convection oven). This timer I pull off and take with
me.

The other for steamed vegetables, which does vary sometimes, depending on
how much I'm steaming. Or I leave it at a longer time, and just stop early.

Do others have multiple timers with preset times? And does anyone like the
ones you have to rotate to the time?
